It's a gorgeous night for a wedding. Genesis just didn't know it would be his.

Take one jilted bride crying over the beautiful vows she finds carved on a majestic statue, add in a touch of moonlight, and suddenly-Melinda is getting married after all! The catch? Her groom is a monster she's never met and didn't even know existed!

Genesis is the lone gargoyle in the paranormal-friendly town of Pine Ridge. While it seems like many of his friends are marrying humans, Genesis is determined to hold out for his ideal Ms. Right, a gargoyle gal with talons strong enough to hold his heart and wings that will let them soar off into the moonlight together.

So when Genesis wakes up to find some sobbing human reciting a binding marriage vow-one he can't easily get out of-he is not happy.

As Genesis and Melinda work together to make the best of an unexpected and unwanted situation, they both get another surprise-they're falling in love. But will that be enough to convince them to stay in a marriage neither of them wanted?

Stone Cold Groom is a steamy standalone in the Pine Ridge Universe.

Monstrous grooms and beastly brides? Don't be afraid of falling in love... It's super-natural!
